i need the little cylinder things that go through the top of the shocks that the screw passes through to hold them to the tower.. anyone know the "PC" name?? i only need two of them.. the smaller ones for like ST shocks.. thanks!!
 
They come in several diameters.
I went to the hardware store and got some metal tubing that fit in the top shock body hole. the ID was still to big so I got another tube to slide inside that one and it worked.

I have used Fuel tubing in the past as well. Just need to make sure that after you use a washer and a nut that nothing binds up.

I have several here the OD for the part that goes into the shock body is 5mm. ID for the screw is 3.1mm. Standoff is 4.3mm from the tower. The width of the part that goes into the body is 4.5mm.

LMK, Ill put them in an unpadded envelope and mail them to the wrong addy. :)
 
thanks eddy ill check when i get home.. i didnt think there were that many sizes to choose from..
i just need to get them changed.. i got this thing as a junker and fixed it up.. it has drywall screws holding the rear shocks on with brass bushings as washers so the screw wont go through the shock hole.. lol!! GHETTO!! i just stripped the purple off the shocks and made them look nice.. figured id fix the mounting while I'm at it..
 
ok eddy i checked mine and there 4.8 but there loose.. you said they have a 4.3 standoff. i dont think those are them.. mine look like a spend casing from a gun but smaller.. from what i can tell the 4.8 ones you have are what i have.. 0 standoff.. i dont think the 4.3 standoff will work without binding.. guess i need pics huh lol.. lmk if you understand any of this lol if we need to go to pm just pm me..
 
fuel tubing and washers work wonders and is cheap

i use the little rings from the shower curtain hanger.
 
nm guys i found something that would work.. i just hope there hard enough metal to not break..
